"content": "Previously, VAT was not charged on transport, but it was introduced through the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill of 2013. I sought to amend it then, but it was not possible. Therefore, I went round this route of introducing a Bill. This amendment Bill is also aimed at not only removing VAT on transport of sugarcane from the farms to milling factories, but also to reduce the general cost of production of sugar. The consequence is that it will end up reducing the prices of sugar that we consume in our cakes, tea and in the beer that you take after the rise of the House."
